Your position

As a Structural Engineer you are a member of the Steelwork Competence Team and report to the "Team Leader Steelwork".

This includes the specification of the structures and all building and safety aspects that belong to the items like flooring, access-systems (stairs and ladders) and guarding (railing and fencing). Secondly you will supervise the work of subcontractors and the quality of the steelworks they supply.

In projects, you will work independently and report to Project-manager. Due to the dynamic and multi-disciplinary environment, you will work and align with internal project-teammembers (managers, engineers, buyers) and external parties (customers, engineering companies, steel manufactures).

In this demanding role, you will work on several projects simultaneously while having tight schedules.

Your tasks/responsibilities:

• Work out and recommend technical, cost-effective solutions, or as the case may be, structural design alternatives.
• Represent the interests of "steel" in a highly demanding multi-disciplinary project environment.
• Perform preliminary calculations for estimating steel sections
• Prepare estimates of steel tonnages, quantities and associated costs
• Collect all relevant technical information (including, for example, local legislation, standards and earthquake risk indicators) for sending RFQs to suppliers.
• Act as a point of contact for internal and external stakeholders with regard to the technical detailing and construction of structural steelwork on site (serving as a sparring partner for sales, engineering and project teams) and monitor the quality of work and delivered products.
• Coordinate lay-out engineers (internal and external) in the production of 2D drawings and 3D models of structural steelwork.
• Provide up-to-date, accurate and complete reports on time at your own initiative.
